Introspection

In some traditions, the New Year starts at Samhain. The year starts with the dark half, with winter, just as the day starts with the evening, at sunset. Therefore, for me the time around Samhain is the time for introspection, for looking back over the last year, and for looking forward into what I want to do and be next year. In terms of the three aspects of the divine, introspection means getting into contact with your divine Self. And that is what we are going to do during this November: introspection. We start this week with retrospection and look back over the last year. Then we will do two different exercises to explore ourselves. Finally, on the basis of these results, we will make plans for the next year.
